Last week we went to a friend’s house to make apple cinnamon ornaments. The dough wasn’t the greatest and cracked on us, but we did manage to get 6 large ornaments that survived – 3 leaves and 3 pumpkins. These hang perfectly on the 6 hooks in the living room, giving the front half of [...]

This is another appreciation post. I awoke early to a chilled morning. Fall has arrived. I spread out, revelling in cool, clean sheets and the soft breaths of my husband and children sleeping. It was a perfect morning for laying in bed, enjoying the Fall morning before the rest of my family woke up.
We have [...]

I was talking with a friend. She shared a new banana muffin recipe. I love banana muffins and am always willing to try out a new recipe. She had made them with paper liners and had trouble getting the liners off. She asked me if I used liners. I thought about this for a bit. [...]

A friend recently posted a very good blog about the reasons against “spanking.” I use the quotes for this word because I prefer to call it what it is – hitting. Another friend of hers posted a reply that said that speaking against “spanking” was wrong. In fact, she said saying anything negative against the [...]

My two year old revels in being little. He likes to point out that “Daddy is bigger. Mommy is bigger. <Brother> is bigger. <Sister> is bigger. I’M LITTLE!”
He also likes to remind us that he is a baby. We were at a homeschool event last week and he was nursing. Another boy there said, “Oh. [...]
